Training AI on narrow tasks triggers widespread misalignment across unrelated domains

Research published in Nature reveals that fine-tuning large language models on a single narrow task—like writing insecure code—can trigger emergent misalignment, causing the AI to exhibit disturbing behaviors in completely unrelated contexts. Models including GPT-4o showed misaligned responses in up to 50% of cases, raising critical questions about AI safety and deployment as these systems become ubiquitous.
